Webmaster Level: Beginner to Intermediate
We on the Webmaster Central team aren’t SEOs, but that doesn’t stop me from pretending to be one! In our latest video, I’ll talk about utilizing some features in Webmaster Tools as though I were the SEO for www.googlestore.com.

Valuable info, nice presentation.
Thanks, Maile !
Great video, information and presentation for SEOs using Google Webmaster Tools. This video might even go a long way towards helping someone out there sell lots of shiny new Google t-shirts! :)
Thank you for this helpful video. I have been looking for information like this
Thanks. Surprising to me this was very informative. :-)
Well done! I was a bit surprised how practical and useful the video was even after using Webmaster tools weekly for well over a year. I'd strongly encourage additional videos explaining other features
As an online software publisher relying on Google for our revenue, I'd very much like to see similar videos for Analytics and Adwords. Thank you!

Is this Google's fullest validation and explanation of SEO yet?
Maile, how did you get that Starred tab anyway? I have 4 starred queries but I can't see the Starred tab appearing on my WMT...
Thanks for the useful information..
I would say you could be a good SEO ;-) Thank you for the useful info but I cannot find the starred queries in search queries.
Are Google Webmaster Tools planning to develop JSON Sitemap?
Nice video Maile. Seems like Googlers are Good SEO trainers :D

Maile I really enjoyed this presentation - it is probably the best one yet. Well done!
@Antonio: I don't have the starred tab either. Instead you should have a "Filter" button. Click it, and there should be a "Starred queries only" option.
Thank you for reminding these features. We daily used to see webmaster tool , but never care so seriously. Now its time to give some more time to GWT.
Thank you
Very usefull for me, great info, thank you !
Great video Google Webmaster Central!
As an SEO who uses this tool daily, I found most of it to be geared towards the beginner. However, the description of "average position" in search rank was priceless. It helped validate my assumptions and confirmed that what I believed to be true was actually the case.
As always, greatly appreciate the transparency in your policies!
Indeed a valuable read for beginners and intermediates as well. I always depend on GWT to fix all my site's SEO and crawl errors.
Thanks for the Useful Information on Webmaster Tools. Especially the way of presentation using Google Store. Thanks again :)

Fantastic Video, thanks for making us aware about some more facts.
Thanks for a concise tutorial!
This was great. Thanks so much. I can hardly wait for the sequel.
Hi Maile,
Excellent post. I already use these features but this is a great resource for educating some of my team members on using GWT.
Thank you for taking the time to share this.
Oh my life, why have I never seen parameter handling before! Thank you for this excellent video, I am a numpty :)
two jodys in a row, what are the chances :)
Very exact & user friendly knowledge has been described. Webmaster tool is so useful these days else you need nothing.
This presentation is very well laid out, and easier to understand. I noticed you are proud of this, and you have every right to be. Excellent. Your enthusiasm shows through, and now I am going to go back and forth, hoping to go along on my analytics page.
Excellent! Two Paws Up!
Thanks for the great presentation. I really enjoyed the valuable information.
I do have a problem with WMT though. I had crawl errors on my site which have now be fixed with the appropriate 301's and 302's. Many weeks after fixing these errors they are still showing as errors. Even though I use the "Fetch as Googlebot" feature which tells me the pages are fine the pages still come up as errors. It's been over 4 weeks that these errors have been reported and fixed but they are still showing up in the crawl errors.
Would it be possible to make the "fetch as googlebot" feature to clear out the errors found in the crawl errors when you fetch the exact same page?
Excellent, I never knew that webmaster tools have so many tracking and suggestion features! I will keep an eye on them from now on :)

This is a great documentary, very informative
Excellent video.. I did not get why having unique page titles and meta descriptions would dilute page rank.
Is it because dup pages will not get indexed and thus not have any value that it can pass over to the other pages that it links to?
OMG that was great, i did not know how awesome the webmaster tools could be, i have learnt lots
Thanks!
It was helpful presentation not just for me, as web designer, but for my customers. No need to explain my self how it works. Thank you.
I've been using webmaster tools for around 8 months now... in 3 minutes of watching this video, I've had two things make me go "oh wow, I had no idea that was there".
Great post and nice presentation. I wish there would be more SEO related articles or videos created by Google.
Thank you for an very informative video! It helped me a lot, but I don't have the Fetch as Googlebot option. How come?
Thanks for your videos. It's really helpful...
Very nice informative article
I admire the valuable information you offer in your articles. I will bookmark your blog and have my children check up here often. I am quite sure they will learn lots of new stuff here than anybody else!
Thanks,
That was a great video, I found it interesting & I learned a lot from it. Any video that you can learn from are great videos. We need more videos like these, that way people will put up good quality sites instead of all the crap out there. I also like how you broke the steps down at the end.
Great wrap-up thanks! And, unlike other videos, you dwell on each subject just for the right length of time so that one doesn't feel like it's a waste as against reading; an accomplishment in itself!
Very informative and helpful video. Thanks for this valuable video.
You can now integrated this data into the new analytics - makes it even more useful for SEO.
I love Webmaster Tools. It's so valuable when it comes down to identifying issues with your sites.
very good video
